At BrieflyNews, we provide a summary of articles in 60 words, accompanied by bias ratings from various media outlets. This approach helps you understand perspectives from all sides of the political spectrum. Instead of rating news channels or media outlets as a whole, we evaluate each article individually, free from prior assumptions, to ensure the most accurate bias ratings possible.
How We Assess Bias in Articles?
Step 1: Identify Different Types of Media Bias
We categorize articles into 8 types of media bias to better understand their perspectives.
Selective Spotlighting
This occurs when certain details or aspects of a story are emphasized while others are omitted, leading to a skewed perspective and drawing attention to a specific narrative.Emotional Overdrive
Articles that use highly charged or dramatic language to evoke strong emotions often sensationalize the story at the expense of accuracy.Fact-Opinion Mashup
This involves blending opinion statements with factual reporting, making it challenging for readers to distinguish between verified information and personal viewpoints.Data Disguise
This type of bias presents statistics or data misleadingly, either by cherry-picking numbers or omitting essential context to support a particular argument.Attack Mode
Here, the focus shifts to personal attacks or character assassination instead of engaging with the substance of a person's argument or actions.Mind Reader's Fallacy
This occurs when reporting assumes a person’s thoughts, motives, or intentions without evidence, projecting bias based on assumptions.False Balance
This type misleads the audience by presenting issues with overwhelming evidence on one side as having equally valid perspectives on both sides, suggesting that both are equally credible.The Spin Cycle
This occurs when facts are presented in a way that aligns with a particular narrative or agenda, often leaving out important details that could change the story's interpretation.
Step 2: Evaluate Bias Ratings Using AI
We utilize advanced AI tools, like ChatGPT, to analyze the content and provide initial bias ratings.
Step 3: Conduct Human Verification
To ensure accuracy, our team reviews the AI-generated ratings, providing a final assessment through human verification.
